(GRANTED UNDER. THE ACT 01 men 3, 1883, AB AIEKDED 80, 1888; 870 0. G. 757) This ap lication is made under the actthe public, to take effect upon the grant of a above mentioned 'septlc' and germicidal properties or values, 55

patent to me. 4

My invention relates to the emplo ent as disinfectants and antiseptics of acy resorclnols containing more than one carbon atom in the acyl-group.

The mventlon includes the products re- ,15 ferred to above in a pure state as well as in I an impure state, and mixtures of two or more of the individual members of the group My acyl resorcinols maynpreferabl prepared-by any of'the well own met ods for making acyl resorcinols. For example, Johnson and Lane in J our. Amer. Chem. Soc. 43,348-360, 1921, described a method for the manufacture of acyl resorcinols; also applicant and F. W. Tilley, in an article published '25 in the Journal of Bacteriology, Volume XIV,

No. 4, October, 1927, described'a method for the manufacture of acyl resorcinols.

I found that acyl resorcinols containing more than one carbon atom in the acyl grou 80 are useful and efiicient disinfectants and antiseptic. The acyl resorcinols, which are disinfectant and antiseptic and which are covered by and included in my invention are those acyl resorcinols that have two or more carbon .atoms in the acyl group, namely, actyl resorcinol, and up. Specifically I may mention, in addition to acetyl resorcinol some of those that are included in m invention such as propionyl resorcinol, utyryl re- 40 sorcinol, amylyl resorcinol, hexylyl resorcinol, hepty-lyl resorcinol, octylyLresorcinol, etc.

My acyl resorcinols may be emulsified or dissolved in water or other suitable vehicle and then used as disinfectants and antiseptics. They may also be used in a solid form. Some of the uses to which my invention may be ut are as follows:

the destruction of parasites; in the destructlon of lower forms of life, for example, as a germlcidal agent; as an inhibition to the growth of lower forms of life, for example, as an antiseptic agfnt. That the substances aving disinfectant, anticonsequently, possess therapeutic properties or values.

I claim: 1. As a disinfectant and antiseptic, acyl resorcinols containing more than one carbon 0 resorcinol.

' 5. As a disinfectant and antiseptic, amylyl resorcinol;

6. As a disinfectant and antiseptic, hexylyl 7o resorcinol.

' 7. As a disinfectant and antiseptic, heptylyl resorcinol.

8. As a disinfectant and antiseptic, octylyl resorcinol. I 9. As disinfectants and antiseptics, acyl resorcinols having not less than two; nor more than eighteen carbon atoms in the acyl group.

10. As disinfectants and antiseptics, acyl resorcinols having not less than two nor more than sixteen carbon atoms in the acyl group.

Y 11. As disinfectants and antiseptics, acyl resorcinols having not less than two nor more 8 than fourteen carbon atoms in the acyl group.

12. As disinfectants and antiseptics, acyl resorcinols having not less than two nor more than twelve carbon atoms in the acyl group. I,

13.'A.s disinfectants and antiseptics, acyl o0 resorcignols having not less than two nor more than ten carbon atoms in the acyl group.

14. As disinfectants and antiseptics, acyl resorcinols having not less than two nor more than eight carbon atoms in the acyl oup 15. As disinfectants and antiseptlcs, mlxtures of acyl resorcinols containing more than one carbon atom in the acyl group.

16. As disinfectants and antiseptics, acyl coconut resorcinols containing more than one carbon atom in the acyl group.
